Work Text:
Steve lifts the comforter and does his best to silently crawl into bed without waking Eddie.
The metalhead usually sleeps without any issues, usually thrashing around while he's awake, but of course, this morning he wakes up a little.
“Mm, you’re warm,” Eddie says, lying half on top of Steve and nuzzling into his neck. His arm lays across Steve’s chest and if Steve didn’t think he’d get smacked, he’d coo at how cute his boyfriend is.
“Sorry, I didn’t want to wake you. Shift ran late,” Steve whispers. “Go back to sleep, baby.”
Eddie hums contentedly as Steve nudges him a little further into his arms.
“You know I can’t sleep without you,” Eddie mumbles into his chest, sleepiness making him more vulnerable than ever. Steve’s heart feels so full, along with his arms.
“You know I'm the same,” Steve responds with a soft chuckle, then kisses the top of the wayward curls and smiles into Eddie’s hair. His entire world is right here and Steve’s so lucky.
